Please elaborate.
Having more detail is always a good thing.
Specifically: Can this be cleaned up/rewritten for an audience that may not understand assembly code?

When reading the page number from the I/O data address, the game compares the read value against a table of known values:

                     page_num_first
                     XREF[2]:     read_page:00003356(*),
                                  read_page:0000335c(R)
00003370 00              ??         00h
                     page_num_values
                     XREF[1]:     read_page:0000335c(R)
00003371 01              ??         01h
00003372 03              ??         03h
00003373 07              ??         07h
00003374 0f              ??         0Fh
00003375 3f              ??         3Fh    ?
00003376 1f              ??         1Fh
00003377 00              ??         00h

Page 5 corresponds to the debug menu handler. However, the comparison function only checks up to address 00003375, due to the cycle counter being set to 5 instead of 6. Therefore, page 5 (value 1Fh) is never returned by the function:

                     read_page
                     XREF[3]:     0000322a(c), 00003272(c),
                                  00003324(c)
00003346 12 39 00        move.b     (IO_PAGE).l,D1b ; read page from memory
         80 00 0d
0000334c 02 81 00        andi.l     #0x3f,D1
         00 00 3f
00003352 70 00           moveq      #0x0,D0
00003354 74 05           moveq      #0x5,D2 ; cycle counter
00003356 43 f9 00        lea        (page_num_first).l,A1
         00 33 70
                     LAB_0000335c
                     XREF[1]:     00003364(j)
0000335c b2 19           cmp.b      (A1)+=>page_num_first,D1b = 01h ; compare and increment index
0000335e 67 00 00 0e     beq.w      LAB_0000336e ; match found, exit cycle
00003362 52 80           addq.l     #0x1,D0
00003364 51 ca ff f6     dbf        D2w,LAB_0000335c ; decrement counter and branch

In practice, when the player opens page 5, the previously open page is kept loaded. We can instead set the counter to 6, so that page 5 can be loaded, by applying the following patch: 00003354 = 74 06.
